How her approaches translate to online therapy

Vickie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms. It often helps with depression, anxiety, and problems like sleep disruption. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can help with stress, anger, and ongoing worry.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Vickie works with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts plans based on what is working and what feels manageable for the client.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Some approaches lend themselves to homework and between-session practice, which can be simpler to coordinate remotely. Talk with Vickie about how to structure sessions so they match your routine and goals.
